Instruments: Piano Guitar Bass Guitar Double Bass Tuba Music Electric Guitar
I love the Bass guitar and Double Bass and it is my goal to find and teach the students who have this same passion for the instrument. In my opinion, the bass is the most essential instrument in ANY ensemble and so if you learn to play the bass well enough you are on the track for success in any genre you wish to play. I am a very relaxed individual and this transfers to my teaching style. Read More

I am a passionate musician, and in my opinion you cannot make music without PASSION! We will find and explore your passion so you music can be unbridled and free of constraints. I believe in a balanced approach to musicianship, production, singing, etc. I will teach you the classic way, how to read notes and things of that nature; but I will also teach improv and pre-thinking so you can make your own unique sound.

For students of all ages, I start with a small book focusing on the essential elements of the instrument while teaching them something fun and recognizable. As basic techniques are acquired and musical concepts are grasped, I tailor the lesson to what the students long term goals are. An example would be a 12 year old on violin wants to excel in his or her orchestra program, so I pick certain pieces, books, and techniques to teach that will help them accomplish this. Read More

Music was created to be ENJOYABLE (meaning it "brings IN JOY" to our souls) - therefore everything about it should be just that! My teaching style is much like my personality - Fun, laid back, with a good balance of buckling down when needed, joyful & a perfectionist. I will push my students gently & encourage them to learn the styles THEY want in a very professional and multi-faceted way. Having worked with thousands of kids & teenagers, I've learned that charisma is contagious & when given the proper tools & support, they can do exceedingly & abundantly more than what they (or I) could ever imagine!

Instruments: Piano Voice
I'm a classical singer with a Bachelor of Music in Education degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Opera is my first love, but I also teach a wide variety of styles (musical theater, pop, country) as well as general vocal skills and musicianship. I perform in professional Opera (Austin Opera)and light Opera productions (G.S.S.A.). I also sing in more Folk/Americana styles on a regular basis for a local church. Read More

I have almost 30 years of experience as a recording and performing musician. I studied in Detroit, London and Los Angeles, and recieved my BA in music and Performing Arts in 20011. Since then I have made a living writing pop songs and movie soundtracks, performing and teaching. I consistently write 5 songs a week, and then select and develop the best material into a finished product. I continue to study all aspects of music from theory to technique to composition and performance. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Humans are creatures of habit and our physical abilities are dependent on muscle memory. In order to practice effectively it needs to be part of a regular routine, not an appointment, special occasion, or chore.
If we can practice 5 hours a week, we see significant progress in the first year.
My advice is to find a time when you won't be rushed or distracted. The end of the school/work day, when all of your obligations are fulfilled is best. Some days 60 minutes will be enough time to make significant progress, sometimes 60 minutes won't allow you much advancement, but 60 minutes, 5 days in a row, will yield noticeable improvement. Muscle memory is more deeply programmed when we sleep, so returning to a failed task the following day will recently yield success. As we experience this success we are more inclined to practice each day. I highly recommend playing 1 hour a day, when the day is done, Monday through Friday.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If a child has an obvious attachment to music, like singing constantly and sounding out tunes on an instrument, then it may be time to consider lessons. Children can learn as early as 5 years old, but its hard to get a genuine commitment out of a child younger than 8.
If a child is agreeable, has shown a sustained interest and is the sort of kid who completes homework or enjoys sports practice, then there is a good bet that they'll practice enough to see results.
In many cases piano is a great way to create good habit like discipline, commitment and project completion.
When will I start to see results?
That depends on a great many variables. Talent and commitment are the most important factors to seeing results. With a commitment of 5 hours a week a child or young adult can see significant results in 6-12 weeks.
If one begins lessons early enough one can see seriously impressive results within 6 months. If one practices 5+ hours a week with regular lessons at the end of 2 years one can feel so comfortable on their instrument that they won't be able to remember a time when they couldn't play proficiently.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I learned to play on the 1954 Wurlitzer spinet that my Mother's Mother bought and played. My mother learned to play on that piano and I began playing on that piano when I was 5 years old. Piano was a form of discipline in my household, but I had a healthy appetite for music for as long as I can remember.
At 13 I took up saxophone and later bass. At 18 I realized the superior utility of the keyboards. A saxophone is monophonic, a bass requires not hands to create a limited amount of notes, but piano is the only instrument played in chromatic half-steps, left to right, low to high, with 88 note polyphony, and rhythmic independence for each hand. No brainer.
